The "enchanting" (Publishers Weekly) Jane Jameson series returns with this fun and witty paranormal romance following a vampire consultant who has nefarious plans to oust Jane from her role as the head of Half-Moon Hollow’s vampire council.

Ever since Jane Jameson took over running the Vampire Council for Half-Moon Hollow, things have been a little unorthodox, and that doesn’t sit well with the head office. Who would have thought vampires were so into bureaucracy and tradition?

Enter a vamp from corporate who’s determined to unseat Jane and get the council back on track - which means no more of this Kentucky neighborliness and mixing with humans, werewolves, witches, or anything else.

But Jane’s not interested in going back to the bad old days when the council was mired in corruption and tended to "accidentally" eat people now and again, but she might be in over her head this time. Good thing there’s a pretty new face in town who just might be the perfect distraction and help save Jane’s career.

as always the tree grows stronger and better with each story letting the side characters grow into their own the only drawback is Molly has a way of making us want more and more and more can't wait for the next instalment in the half moon hollow series and to see which of the various characters will be given their own story and allowed to grow even more hopefully Dick Jane will have even more Adventures ask the representatives for the vampires in their sector

NUMBER OF HEARTS: 4
Meadow Schwartz just wants to live a quiet peaceful life filled with tea and her friends. But nothing can be that simple in Half-Moon Hollow. The Council has sent in an auditor to take a closer look at the way Jane and Dick are conducting business. Enter the stuffy uptight Eric Weston.

Another great installment from Molly Harper. I really enjoyed listening to Meadow’s story. As always Amanda Ronconi does an amazing job of bringing Molly’s characters to life. It was fun to see some of our past favorite characters pop up in Peace, Blood and Understanding. I love Dick’s nickname for Meadow “Hippy-Dippy”.

I can’t wait to see what is next in this series and what other secrets Half-Moon Hollow has in store for us.

while not romance heavy it is a good story, and Half Moon Hallow is always worth a visit.

Molly Harper is one of my favorites for an engaging story and a good laugh. I would recommend reading earlier books before reading this one however. It is filled with references to previous books and could frustrate a reader unfamiliar with the Half Moon Hollow saga.

Nice escapist fiction

3.5 stars, rounded up because — Amanda Ronconi narration
Setting: Half Moon Hollow, KY Contemporary
Genre: Paranormal, rom-com

First off, aside from providing little relevant detail, the blurb is off. Yes, there is an auditor from HQ, but he isn’t “determined to unseat Jane” from her post as head of the local council. He, Eric Weston, an investigator and consultant with the World Council for the Equal Treatment of the Undead, is more of an efficiency expert. He was sent to assess how Dick Cheney (the original, not the former Veep) and Jane Jameson are managing the local branch of the council. Yes, he can replace them if he finds too many problems, but there’s more to his visit than that. Including a personal murder investigation involving Dick. Meadow Schwartz (née something totally different — she being a scion of a family of the horsey set down in Lexington) is a relatively “young” vampire who, after being turned against her will several years ago, went on a murder spree. But they see baaad people. She is now under the supervision of the local council, where she also has a part-time job. When Eric and Meadow met it was hate-at-first-sight, and it didn’t get much better as his investigation progressed and she got defensive on Dick and Jane’s behalf. Their relationship develops despite disasters (accidents or sabotage?) at the council offices, a seedy PI looking for Meadow, and the usual Half Moon Hollow happenings.
Overall, this is a pretty good book, though not, in my opinion, as good as others in the series. I think Meadow and Eric could have been better developed, and the plot could have been a bit more — well, I don’t want to sat complex, but — so, just a bit more... je ne sais quoi. (Perhaps Ms Harper is pulling herself a little thin trying to keep up with the demands of the three series she is currently working) However, anyone who has read and enjoyed this and the Jane Jameson series will be pleased to find comfortable old friends showing up regularly.
The narration by Amanda Ronconi is, as always, perfect for Molly Harper’s style. I don’t think anyone could do a better job of it.

Nice addition to the Half Moon Hollow universe

Great book and performance

not as good as the other half moon bay books
